'59 Plymouth Forum

can you tell me where to find the production date on my Ply Suburban ? Thanks

Yes I do still have it. I am in Everett, Washington and close to 405 and I 5 so please let me know so I can be home. My cell is 425-530-0778. Early evenings are better in the week or a Saturday. Sunday we get home from church around 1:30 so that is also a good time.
Thank you for your interest.

Hi Charlie, I do understand so no problem. I hope you can find something close to where you are. Take care and thanks for your interest in this one.

Thanks for your info. I was told it was a 277 but I I am glad to know what engines came in it.

Hi, it is in Everett, Washington, I am asking $1500.00 for it. The engine is the 318 V8 with power steering and auto trans. It has radio and heater but no other options. The engine starts right up and sounds good. The transmission goes right into drive and reverse with a nice feel however there are ...

On my 59 Plymouth with the 277 V8 are the valves adjustable on this engine and if so what are the settings and are they adjusted hot or cold ?
Thanks.

59 Ply wagon 12.jpg I have decided to sell my 59 Sport Suburban due to health reasons. This wagon needs restoration but it is solid and it runs very good. It has been sitting since 1994 but has very little rust. The floors are solid except the drivers floor and it needs to be replaced. The right fr...

I would like to remove the door lock cylinder from the drivers door on my suburban but for some reason I am unable to figure it out, how to remove it. I don't usually have trouble with things like this but now I am stumped . Thanks for any help. Also I am still in need of the screw nut/ bezel for th...

I was able to remove all of the headliner and without breaking anything like clips or the cardboard itself and now ready to repair the panels. Do you know if Dick Skinner had any pictures of the plywood strips that he glued to the panels ? It would be nice to see how he did that part. Thank you. Dic...

I think I know a guy that I used to work with who is an artist with metal and a torch so I will let you know how this works out. I guess the next question is where can I get a tank sending unit for the Suburban tank ?

Hi Dick, I have checked around and so far the cheapest I have found is a place in Seattle that charges $345.00 to do it and I just can't afford that so I will have to figure out something else.
Thank you for your suggestion.

Thank you so much John Q. I just had new keys made for the wagon and now have the fuel tank out. The tank needs a lot of repair.

I was finally able to get the gas tank out of my 59 Suburban and sad to say it has a lot of rust and holes in it. I can't afford much for repairs to have it done so wondering if there is a safe way to repair it myself ? I wish I could afford to do better but I cannot.
Thank you for your help.

If I can be of more help on this subject I will be happy to do what I can.
